5.0 out of 5 stars Brought me back 40 years to a more innocent time, July 25, 1998

These are the songs on the "flip" sides of our 45's and on the extended play 45's with four songs on them...an economical way for teeners to attain an extensive record library of our favorite singers in my day! Though Elvis'voice expanded and became more versatile with training and age, there is something so remarkable and innocent about his voice in the beginning.....no fancy mixers or backgrounds...just simple old Negro jazz and country songs. I loved his voice then and I love it now. I never thought I'd ever hear these songs again except in my head! My personal favorite? .."Rip It Up"..I still sing it every Saturday night! Travel back in time to our innocence with this recording.

The Other Sides is an interesting two cd set for the Elvis music collector. On these two cds we find the "B" sides of what was originally fifty 45 rpm records. The "A" sides of these fifty records are found on the Elvis Worldwide Gold Hits two cd set. Even though The Other Sides consists of "B" sides, we find some outstanding Elvis' songs on these two cds. Outstanding songs include One Night, Fame And Fortune, His Latest Flame, Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello, Ask Me, and It Hurts Me. All five of these songs are among the best 20 songs that Elvis Presley ever recorded. Most of the 50 songs on The Other Side are pleasant to listen to and truly enjoy. This tells us that the fifty 45 rpm records from which these 'B" sides were chosen were outstanding purchases for the consumer, in that, in most cases, both sides of the fifty 45 rpm records contained good to outstanding Elvis' songs that were likely to be much enjoyed by the listening audience.

This is a great collection of Elvis, songs that were the B side of his major hit's, but there are just as good as the on'es that went to number one.
